D. Bratcher, Amazon, 2015

Although not my genre of choice, I decided to take a chance on this book and I’m glad I did! I wasn’t initially sure of quite what to expect, but perhaps that’s part of the appeal. The Scissors and the Sword, is something a bit different. A wonderfully unique and nuanced take on the mystery genre, with elements of the supernatural skilfully woven in. It’s well paced and thoughtful, with a narrative that is both easy and enjoyable to digest. I highly recommend picking it up.

About

Born in England during the cracks between Generation X and Y, Ethan writes fictional works that draw on his own experiences, having lived in a variety of countries and worked in a range of professions.

A common theme in his books include escapist adventure, usually tied to a modern, more believable situation to help provide grounding. Ethan is drawn to exciting, large-scale duels and compelling mysteries, often with a folklore backing.

Ethan also writes the occasional non-fictional work; usually related to the practices of being a self-published author in the modern media climate.

Today, he lives in the south-east of England, where he works as a product designer whilst writing in his spare time, between attending events to meet readers and other authors.

In addition to writing, Ethan is a longtime fan of anime, snowboarding, general geekery and aviator sunglasses.
